How to check the screw before you buy

  1. Keep material and finish the same as the original (often stainless) on equipment that is cleaned or sterilised.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M1.4 screw measures about 1.4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
  3. Pitch: 0.3 mm from one thread crest to the next (33.33 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The records span 2–6 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) drive. For comparison, standard M1.4 heads take PH000 / PH00 (Phillips) or T2–T3 (Torx), or a 1.3 mm hex key.
  7. Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M1.4 is about 8-12 N·cm into metal threads and 4-7 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M1.4

  • Dental implant screws (M1.4/M1.6) are proprietary per system — Bredent, NeoBiotech, Nobel and Straumann are not interchangeable even at the same nominal size.
  • M1.4 is THE Samsung Galaxy internal screw across S, A, M and Note lines — but lengths run 2.3mm to 4mm+ and are not interchangeable between models.
